Barbatosporaceae is a family of fungi in the order Barbatosporales. The family was introduced by Alexander B. Doweld in 2014 and is typified by the genus Barbatospora.[1][2][3]
The family contains the genus Barbatospora, whose type species is Barbatospora ambicaudata.[4][5]
Taxonomy
Barbatosporaceae was established by Doweld in Index Fungorum in 2014, together with the order Barbatosporales.[1] The family is placed in Barbatosporomycetes, a class introduced in modern higher-level classifications of fungi.[6]
The higher-level placement of the family has varied between taxonomic treatments and databases. Index Fungorum places Barbatospora in Barbatosporaceae, Barbatosporales, Barbatosporomycetes, Kickxellomycotina and Mucoromycota.[4] Other modern classifications have treated Barbatosporomycetes among early-diverging fungal lineages associated with Kickxellomycota or Kickxellomycotina.[6][7]
Description
Barbatosporaceae is characterized by branched thalli and cylindrical trichospores that lack a collar. The trichospores have multiple fine appendages at the base and may also have a cylindrical sleeve or wall at the apical end. Zygospores are not known.[1][6]
Ecology
The known species, Barbatospora ambicaudata, was described from trichomycete symbionts of larval aquatic insects collected in and around Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the southern Appalachian region of the United States. The species was found in larvae of Simuliidae, commonly known as blackflies.[8]
Genera
Barbatosporaceae currently contains the following genus:
- Barbatospora M.M. White, Siri & Lichtw., 2006
- Barbatospora ambicaudata M.M. White, Siri & Lichtw., 2006
